I have seen the video and it’s pretty good. I would have included a few others in place of, for example, P.J. Stock beating up Mariusz Czerkawski, or Joe Paterson (as a Ranger) fighting Nick Fotiu (as a Flyer). I would have included Joey Kocur vs. Bob Probert; the Rangers-Flyers preseason brawl of 1985; some “best of” Barry Beck or Eddie Johnstone; the tag-teamer against Washington in the playoffs, where Mark Hardy beat up Geoff Courtnall and Kris King outslugged Nick Kypreos at center ice, Clark Gillies-Eddie Hospodar; George McPhee-Dave Brown (they had a McPhee-Rick Tocchet punchout, but not the one from the ’86 playoffs); Fotiu-Holmgren or Fotiu (as a Ranger)-anybody, etc.

But what they came up with was a pretty good sampling. Definitely worth a watch.

I didn’t see the fights on MSG yet but some of my favs include, shockingly James Patrick destoying the Flyers Dave Poulan. Eddie johnstone killing the Isles Gary Howatt, Colton Orr putting to bed Todd Fedoryk and McPhee making a bloodie mess of Rick “you bet” Tocchet in the playoffs. Also Gravy abusing Peppy for the Devil all rivaly stuff

Anybody watch “25 things about Sienfeld that you didn’t know ” ?
I knew 24. What I didn’t know was that the original title was going to be “stand up” & the pilot was titled “Sienfeld Chronicle”

“My idol is Wayne Gretzky. And my dream is to beat all his records.” “Why not try to hit a player after he passes? When we came to Canada we see different hockey — there are smaller rinks, and lots of contact. When you’re already used to doing it in Russia, the transition to the North American game will be easier.” “I don’t want to be drafted high because I want to be drafted by the Rangers.” “I want to be honest: My dream has always been to play in the NHL.”

I think the night Beck fought Wilson after he fought Holmgren during a line brawl was the same night we almost ended the Flyers unbeaten streak which went to 33 games. I was at that 1-1 tie game, if I don’t have 2 games mixed up. All 5 players on the ice for a full scale brawl, filthy flyers.

Carp- great photo of lady liberty with our boys passing by. Best image of memorial day weekend I’ve seen so far. That being said hope everybody had a great weekend & everubody took a minute out to thank our servicemen & women past & present for their service. Without them the bonehead facebook page would be written in anything but english.
Let’s go Hawks!

couple of good ones in philly in dec of 1978…clarke cross-checked espo in the back of the neck in the corner,and phil clocked him with his glove on…later in the same game,fotiu took a big decision over holmgren…holmgren was schultz’s replacement,but he was a good player and kind of an honorable tough guy…..also in jan 1979 at msg, hedberg and nilsson both fought against the canucks….they both more than held their own….go hawks…

All, it’s highly likely that post sick, post sun and fun, and pre work tomorrow (sigh) I shall not make the back and forth between game and computer tonight. mama gonna plotz with the kitties she thinks…..so have a grand time. I’ll catch up on your insights (lol) tomorrow.

I’m getting the CBC coverage (thank God). I’m guessing NBC didn’t have Milbury perform some sort of bizarre Phantom of the Opera soliloquy and mock organ playing to set the game up? Because that’s exactly what Don Cherry was doing. Not sure what those Canadians are smoking…

Pierre Maguire simply does not know anything about hockey. He speaks, and all that comes out of his mouth is garbage. And on May 13, 2010, he was the frontrunner for the Tampa Bay GM job ??? Who in their right mind would even consider Pierre Maguire for any job within an organization other than toilet cleaner?

Hawks are dominating puck possession, need to turn it into goals soon. This has the feeling of a game where one team controls the game for most of it and the other gets a lucky bounce and that’s enough to win.

i love that pierre is still broadcasting between teh glass. hes like a little puppy starved for attention down there., jealous that edzo gets to sit in a chair and he dont. jealous that edzo has hair and he dont. jealous cause nbc makes him run from between the glass to the get everyone dinks and snacks. and hes got chance to get hit with a puck!!

I think it’s fairly obvious that the Flyers are one of the best teams in the NHL. And also obvious that the Hawks are the best team in the game. Winning 6-5 games and 2-1 games. In a Cup Final game, no less.
